The U.S. Coast Guard has placed eight White House Fellows in the past ten years—six of them women! Two of those Fellows, CAPT Holly Harrison and LCDR La’Shanda Holmes, worked directly for former NASA Administrator Charles F. Bolden, also a retired U.S. Marine Corps general and astronaut. He stopped by U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters to discuss their positive and lasting impact in NASA. CAPT Harrison led a team to determine the final resting place of NASA’s space shuttle fleet, while LCDR Holmes supported the agency’s human space flight program. Over the next several weeks, we’ll continue to highlight Coast Guard women who have served in this highly-competitive and prestigious program. All Coast Guard members are encouraged to apply.
